malware or virus? Please help.

Hi guys, i have a problem(s) since 2 days on my 2 year old Dell laptop running on windows 7. All of a sudden it's acting weirdly especially with the mouse and it looks like the hard disk is also constantly running,CPU spikes to 100% for few mins and drops down. I'm having a hard time explaining but i see screen flickrs also continuously when i am on Desktop, when i try to click Run button windows pops up and vanishes. When i click on any folder icon in Desktop and before i right click the mouse pointer vanishes. I use avast and i used malware bytes scan and they both came up with nothing.

Not sure if this is the issue: The one thing i saw when i go to services is it says: "the client virtualization handler service hung on starting"
